Absolute garbage
KMART should be ashamed to sell this product. The only use for this is landfill because it definitely doesn't heat. Upon returning it the clerk remarked how this is a regular occurrence and she often contemplates warning people before they buy these heaters !!!

Easy to use
I've used it for about 3 months now, it takes quite a while to heat up the room but it works just fine. Wanted to opt for convection heater because I heard that it heats up faster, but cost efficiency-wise, oil heater is better. But it's worth the price considering it has 11 fins. Would recommend this product.

Basic reliable heating
The heater works well and heats up fairly quickly. I was quite surprised! It is basic with just manual settings - so no timer or anything, but good for when you need a bit of heat next to the couch or to heat up a bed room before bed. Happy with it.

Great heater, different heat settings, works well!
Great heater that heats room or 2 very well! has many different settings from low warmth to high and often (even on freezing cold days) doesnt have to be used past medium to get optimal heat throughtout room.
The heat is not a harsh heat, which is important as we put it in our children's room. I am very impressed with this heater.
Has an auto off function when tipped over.
Maintains consistant heat.
We have had this heater for 2 years and have NOT noticed a dramatic change in electricity bill either.

Does the job
Ok for small rooms, good price for what it is, just manual settings so no coming on at a pre set time, putting it on low and draping a towel over it makes the towel nice and fluffy.

Quiet Efficient Heating
Simple effective heating. I wanted a heater for my office that was quiet that would radiate a gentle heat. This one does just that. Yes, there is a click when the thermostat switches and it is not the prettiest piece of furniture but what do you get for the cheap price. I am only using it for a few months each year. It does what I bought it for.

Dumbest Design EVER!
Do not waste your $80 on this item - if you sleep with a heater on, expect to be warm but cannot sleep.
It heats up which is not the issue. The issue is the super bright, cannot be adjusted LED display, which A. brightens the entire room at night - I am sure a lot of people use the heater at night; B. it flashes once it reaches the desired temperature - I mean, WHY??? It was set on a temperature for a reason wasn't it? and C. it provides 3 options which are indicated with 3 colours on the knob - and guess what? Now your room is brightened up w...
Read moreith not only the white flashing light, but also 3 colours of your choice! The only positive note I can think of is that you will no longer require a night light; but who needs a night light if you can't even fall asleep? Clearly, product designs at Kmart have not heard of monochrome display. Anyway, do not waste your money on this. $80 should buy you a much more user friendly heater.Purchased in August 2018 for $80.

DANGER Do not buy
On connecting the heater to power for the first time it immediately blew the main fuse for our apartment. Must have been shipped without basic testing, since the new unit was not functional and shorted out straight out of the box. I guess you get what you pay for; going to look for a more expensive 11 fin heater now.

Heats ok, expensive to run
I have one in each bedroom of my house and they have taken the chill out of the air quite well during winter. I did however receive a large power bill and was told by the power company these heaters cost 51c per hour to run. I guess you get what you pay for

Housemates farts are warmer
Bought from Kmart Richmond in 3 days ago. After hours of use, my room was 1.8°c hotter than initially. Took a long time to get barely warm, pretty sure my housemates farts create more heat. Held my palm against it and barely warm, held my palm against the 9fin bunnings heater in another room and instant burn. Felt the heat within minutes from this $59 bunnings one.
Stay away from kmart heaters as they are all rubbish. Especially for an oil heater which has been around for 10's of years, to get this product wrong is embarrassing.

This is crap
This heater is useless only heats up half way to capacity Im freezing cold now and my other heater wont work. I have rung target they said they will call me on Monday
Purchased in June 2019 at Target Australia for $60.
Completely unsatisfied
The heat was good when you were almost sitting on top of it in my small bedroom but even with the door closed I thought this product was a waste of money. It also used an excessive amount of electricity so is not a good product for the budget and/or energy conscious.
I really tried to get heat out of this unit for two weeks but sadly, I had to return it.
